"Each of these selections is intelligently scored and superbly played, bearing replay in a way that instrumental tracks don’t always manage. Vocally as well as instrumentally, Litha are truly blessed, since they possess two excellent lead singers in Aaron and Gudrun, while Claire and Jürgen’s backing vocals are both supportive and well harmonised. This CD is an especially scintillating example of the diversity principle at work providing an immensely satisfying listening experience."

"Words cannot express the beauty evoked by Litha in this brilliant release. With excellent choice of material, impeccable performances, and exquisite production values, this is a master work of artistic creativity and execution."

"The girls’ voices work beautifully in harmony and the musicianship is top-notch. The traditional tracks show the kinship between the nations and the self-penned stuff displays a continuity and sensitivity. Aaron Jones has a lovely Dougie McLeanesque quality to his voice and Juergen Treyz’s guitaring is superb. This album proves there are no barriers. And if there are, well you can just dance right on over them."

Litha is the current new moniker adopted by the two dues quartet. Combining the Irish/Celtic/ German coupling of Aaron Jones, Claire Mann, Jurgen Treyz and Gudrun Walther, the pairings involved gel harmoniously. Their second album Dancing of the Light comes complete with new name and adopts a swing away from the familiar Celtic repertoire to dive into native Germanic folkloric and more contemporary material song wise. Germanic material whether settings of poems or the sole traditional song provides highlights. Native Germanic texts Mondlicht and Herr Oluf and the traditional Nun Wil Der Linz sees Litha giving new canvas to native words while treatment wise melding with the contemporary Celtic and medieval dives into territory occupied by fellow Teutonic revivalists like Ogunweide, Fidel Michel and Lilienthal. Rarer songs by Suzanne Vega, Karine Polwart and Tim O’Leary prove a welcome and necessary sidestep for a Pan Celtic band offering a varied and unfamiliar song repertoire. Elsewhere the tune sets rattle when needed and maintain a strict poise on slower moments.

This controlled mayhem works well and coupled with the imaginative song choice makes for a collection enjoyable and intriguing.

"They meet at this quite literal Celtic crossroads to share and celebrate their common ground through exciting yet truly relaxed musicianship that’s so natural and refreshing, partly because you feel (as they themselves clearly do) that they’ve nothing to prove."
